City Council: Please answer this question:
Have you gone to the parking ramps in Downtown Palo Alto to see what is OBVIOUS?
Truth: 5 story parking ramps DO NOT "replace surface parking".
Your plan to build state mandated low cost apartments ( with parking ramps ! ) on the downtown business parking lots is FLAWED !
None of the developers have addressed this, because they know what is OBVIOUS!
5 story parking ramps DO NOT "replace surface parking"
Look elsewhere to comply with the state legislators. NOW!

( no photos taken of Levels 1 and 2 because they were almost fully occupied with cars)
However, at the same time:
Lowest Underground level B is Empty
Underground level A is Empty
Rooftop parking is empty
Level 5 is empty
Level is 4 empty
Level 3 is empty
